Hi All
inspired by so many members here (vinay,santy alok,and more recently hydra)
i recently took a decision to build a serious listening room
Walls , acoustics, insulation, diffusers, absorbers the whole shabang
Most of us here concur that the speakers and electronics are 50% and the room is another 50%
well diff guys have diff %'s but you get my drift
but many do seem to agree that proper room treatment many a times costs more than your setup
(and by proper i mean professionally done by a consultant who knows what hes doing rather than a cut paste job of recron , panels , glass wool and foams)
especially if you are gonna "create" the room - ( i.e build the walls etc )
i just took a dive in "creating" such a room
there is much debate about what to use where
many of us including me have have baked knowledge or "readup" knowledge
very few have hands on experience
since i was spending money and frankly know very little about correct room acoustics
i didnt wanna do the trail and error
and so i have asked one of anutones very good consultants and one of the best "ears" and tech guys i know Mr Khushroo Jilla to help me out
Anutone as many say, do have materials at slightly higher costs
however the reason behind going to them is their in depth knowledge of where to use what and what will work where
(At least their higher end consultants know exactly what they are doing)
having an accutone driver doesnt mean you can create a tidal
Anway
two rooms are to be done
One is my vacation home
the other is my office
the office will be done first
well since i need part of the office
it will be split in 2 halves
and hence the listening room is now a "bathroom"
meaning it is probably one of the smallest rooms ( measuring only 9 feet by 10 feet with only an 8 feet ceiling )
we will probably be breaking many known traditional room acoustic guidelines here
But Jilla is confident he will get this to work and so is anutone
(we got off a collective 3 hr meeting today to draw up the basic plans)
i will try and post as we go
